The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is probing the case related to the March 2019 murder of former MP YS Vivekananda Reddy, grilled his personal assistant MVKrishna Reddy and cook Lakshmi Devi’s son Prakash in Hyderabad on Wednesday, 3 May.
Both Krishna Reddy and Prakash appeared before the investigators at the CBI office in Koti in Hyderabad.
Following allegations that Prakash hid a letter, the CBI summoned him to its office for questioning.During questioning, the investigators primarily focused on the reasons behind hiding the letter after Vivekananda’s murder in the bathroom at his house in Kadapa.
Though it questioned Krishna Reddy on Tuesday, the CBI asked him to appear before it on Wednesday again for questioning along with Prakash, sources said.
According to the sequence of events on the day YS Viveka was found murdered at his own residence at Pulivendula on March 15, 2019, Krishna Reddy was the first person to knock on the doors of Viveka at around 5.30am.He was the one who first found Viveka dead inside the bathroom in a pool of blood and recovered a mobile phone and a letter left behind by Vivekananda Reddy.
Meanwhile, Viveka’s watchman Ranganna, who gave his confession statement to the CBI recently, was shifted from Pulivendula to Tirupati for medical treatment on Tuesday.
Earlier, the CBI grilled YSRCP MP YS Avinash Reddy over half a dozen times at its office in Koti, following allegations that he was one among the people involved in the case.
The premier investigating agency also questioned Avinash’s father YS Bhaskar Reddy and their aide Uday Kumar Reddy.
Both Bhaskar Reddy and Uday Kumar Reddy, who are presently in judicial remand, were lodged in Chanchalguda prison.
The CBI earlier said Avinash, Bhaskar, and their aides were allegedly involved in a larger conspiracy in the murder case.
